He also sees the floor well and has the playmaking ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

Though 6’5, he has great athleticism and can truly guard one through three at the next level. Though a little raw, the potential is through the roof. If he can continue to improve his already good shot and continue refining his overall game, it goes without saying he’s an intriguing prospect going into his senior year.
